Dangancord: Rebooted is a Danganronpa fan-roleplay run on Discord by a user named Moon, and a reboot of Dangancord: Sky High Havoc.
16 people find themselves in a city, and after being told to reconstruct what turned out to be the killing game's hosts, realise that they're in a killing game.
The server was deleted without warning late September 2021, bringing the game to an unceremonious halt.
Because it is no longer possible to read the original roleplay, spoilers are no longer relevant and will be unmarked.
This RP contains examples of:
- Artifact Name: Averted; while the Tempest File briefly retains that name after they get executed in the first chapter, it's soon renamed to the Three And A Half Cats File, to reflect the contributions of Walrein (pretending to be a Meowth) and Kity AI.note
- Artificial Intelligence: Kity AI is an artificial intelligence created by the Tempests. She mostly just hangs out in the chatroom, since they never gave her a physical body.
- Forced Transformation: Moon and Rose end up becoming Octolings without realising it once they're in the killing game; Glitch inadvertently finds himself looking very much like Junko Enoshima, worried that his kinning of the fictional character may have had a hand in this.Glitch (in the groupchat): ...Look, I'm not Junko, OK? I just kin her, I woke up like this, I'm Glitch under these boobs, just- Gyahhhhh!
- Kill It with Water: Something that comes with Moon and Rose somehow being Octolings is that physical contact with any water-based fluid, no matter how little, risks killing them immediately. A discussion between Moon and Libre at the cafe reveals some holes in the logic, mainly how anyone who is an Octoling can still drink water just fine. This becomes a semi-crucial clue in the first trial — Since Libre's death likely involved blood splattering if the evidence is anything to go by, this deconfirms Moon being a possible suspect of his death, as blood contains water that would kill them if it splattered at them. Conversely, in the second trial, it becomes a key clue convicting Moon, as the acetone-soaked gloves suggest the killer couldn't just wash their hands.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Monobasket gives the first chapter trial participants some facts regarding blood and a blacklight, essentially helping the participants in finding the right clues due to having a rating to keep.Ana: ... Well. Someone sure is biased in the innocents' favor.
Monobasket: Usually I'm not so nice but we have a rating to keep. - Prisoner's Dilemma: The first motive allows a successful killer to save one more person to escape with them. There's nothing immediately pressing about it, so in principle, it's entirely possible to ignore the motive and just live in peace... except for the concern that someone else will try to kill, taking this as their only opportunity to escape with a friend instead of alone. The Tempests, the very ones who pointed this out in the first place, end up "defecting", becoming the first killer.Sylvi: We could all do nothing. Defy the masterminds and live in peace in this weird fake town. Then we'd have 16 people alive, all with minimal mental scarring. But... it only takes one person to defect and start the spiral.
- Sadistic Choice: The first motive, which allows a successful killer to choose one friend to escape with them, puts the players in a bit of a bind — they could, in principle, sacrifice 14 of them immediately to save two, sparing them the drawn-out traumatization that surviving a killing game generally comes with. Or they could play the game, letting probably about five people escape, but all with severe mental scars. They also have a third option of nobody killing and living in peace indefinitely, but taking that option requires that they trust everyone else to do the same.
- Second Episode Substitute: Kity AI briefly shows up towards the end of the first chapter, and makes its proper introduction in the second, after the Tempests have been executed, maintaining their reference sheet of the memcakes.
- Show Within a Show: Monobot reveals to Kouta Sho that the former knows the existence of other Danganronpa roleplays, such as Temperonpa.Kouta Sho: You're...like that same bot from temperonpa huh...? That's- weird- a-anyways- what's...going on here exactly...?
Monobot: The fuck is a Temperonpa? ... I kid, of course, we know all about your little roleplays. - That Came Out Wrong: Kity AI taunts Monobasket by claiming he's "probably annoyed that I've got my sneaky little cybertendrils all in his system". Glitch asks Kity if she realizes what this sounds like.

- Withholding Their Name: At one point in Chapter 1, it's evident that "Libre" isn't Libre's real name — the moment it gets leaked, Libre seems to take measures in attempting to hide the fact. By the time he ends up revealing it to someone, he admits it to be an overblown deal, stating that he uses his alias as if it were a real name anyway.
- Your Mom: The shopping district, revealed in chapter 2, contains "Your Mom's House" — a bakery styled as a home kitchen, with a friendly cat wandering around. It's also based specifically on Moon's mom's house, so that's a lovely little bit of privacy invasion.
